Cairook

Cairook (died 21 June 1859) was a leader of the Mohave Native Americans of Arizona. In 1858, Cairook and the Mohave attacked the Rose-Baley party, leading to the start of the Mohave War with the United States. The Mohave fought against two American expeditions before surrendering, and he was shot and bayoneted during an escape attempt from prison in Fort Yuma.
